I want Tep’s review of The Stuff.

The Stuff (1985) Americans can't get enough of the Stuff, the addictive desert item that ends up mind-controlling anyone who eats it. Young Jason defies his family by NOT eating it after he's sees it move in the refrigerator. Why he saw it move and 50 million other people didn't is beyond me. Director Larry Cohen employs his favorite actor once again, Michael Moriarty is a "industrial saboteur" hired by Big Ice Cream to get to the bottom of it, and he quickly finds that there's something wrong as well. Also with Garret Morris, Paul Sorvino and Danny Aiello.
Thanks!

This is probably racist but having Paul Sorvino AND Danny Aiello is too much Italian American for me.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

You'd never notice it with having the pure insanity of Moriarty in there. Tho maybe he hadn't gone nuts at that point.

If Marty Scorsese wrote the dialog:

Person 1:Are you sayin ther'es too much Italian American in this movie
Person 2: Yeah, that's what I'm sayin
P1: So you think, there's too much Italian American in this movie
P2: A little bit, yeah, a little too much
P1: So you think it could use less Itaian American, that's what you're sayin
P2: Look, I'm just sayin a little less Italian American wouldn't be a bad thing
P1: It wouldn't, that's what you're sayin?
p2: That's what I'm sayin

The Invisable Man (2020) Cecilia (Elizabeth Moss) escapes an abusive relationship and hides at a friends house. She becomes so paranoid she fears going outside until her sister brings news that the boyfriend has killed himself. Slowly she gains her confidence, but again fears for her life as
strange things start to happen. There are a bunch of tense moments and a couple of good jump scared in this. One kill scene was pretty danm shocking. Only downside is you know what is going to happen in the end.

Its making great ticket sales, but I'm thinking if it had Scarlet Johanssen, or other higher profile star in the lead, the box office would've been double or triple by now. There was a short scene where it almost clarified why this billionare guy was attracted to a plain Jane type, but it didn't follow through.
